It will NOT be the end of July, as I still haven't gotten mine yet, and I usually get it a month in advance. With the EVO, we got it 3 weeks in advance. I would probably go with late August.

Searched the forums and haven't found any thread on this topic, so I thought I'd ask, does anyone know a way to sign out of Latitude? I accidentally hit "Join Latitude" this morning in maps, and now there is a process called "locationfriendservice" always running. If you shut it down, the next time you sync with Gmail (or receive a push email), it starts up again.

I didn't want to join latitude and I think this is just a push by Google to get people using their service, which I think is annoying. And there's no way to get out of it or stop it from running.

Anyone know anything?
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
yeah, click on the lattitude menu button, then hit menu, privacy, and set to not log in.

lattitude is a great idea, but it just doesn't seem to work right real-time. needs better implementation imo.
[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
go into latitude, click menu, privacy, turn off latitude
[EVO 4G General] randymac88:
you guys are great, thanks for the intel. Moving right along.

But anyway, this s**s....even if you turn off Latitude, its still active:

make a logcat and you probably see:

Its the way Latitude is binded in Maps, you cant disable it :mad:

[EVO 4G General] galaxy44:
my friend has a galaxy s and something is smashing the battery life.

my suspicion is that its this

com.google.android.apps:locationfriendservice

latitude

I tried uninstalling maps update in market and reinstall it. same battery spank.

also i tried uninsatalling with titanium backup (titanium backup hung, and maps crashed when opened)

i tried overwriting with a older version of maps a 10 week old titanium backup. (titanium backup hang that didn't work.)

i tried wipe data in titanium backup too

any ideas

is this likely to be the problem , her system says android system is spanking the battery.

how can i stop lattitude friend service being active?

Cheers

Sorry, I will post there. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Quatrix:
I uninstalled all Google Maps updates, reinstalled, signed into Latitude, disabled every option in the Latitude settings, and signed out of Latitude again. LocationFriendService still keeps popping up. Not only that, but unless I force-stop Maps at least twice after each restart, it accounts for 15% - 20% of the battery usage because it keeps accessing the GPS in the background. That last part is a bug in Google Maps since version 5.4. I guess the LocationFriendService persistence problem is older than 5.4, but maybe they're related.

Just got my evo a couple days back. Still on 1.32. Rooted via Simpleroot.2

The topic says it all. Now that permanent root has been obtained with 1.47 builds, is it now worth my while to upgrade? I've noticed a majority of roms have already switched over to the 1.47 base, and pretty much all thats left is Calk's 6/25 edition.

So basically....

Is it possible to apply one of these new roms over my 1.32 and still have it function normally?

Or should I simply accept the OTA, and re-root with Simpleroot, then enjoy the new buffet?

Anytime i receive an incoming call; the volume of the ringtone increases as the tone plays;

Not saying its a major issue; just curious if its a stock samsung issue; or if it is just my phone.

[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
I don't like it either. My ringtone speaks a phrase and the first four words are cut off. No phone I ever owned did this. It may be intentional programing but I see no benefit. I wouldn't consider it a bug. My guess is if you end up keeping the phone and waiting for a ROM with stock functionality, the annoyance will go away.

I've been searching the market, but I can't find Launcher Pro anywhere :confused:

I've also downloaded the beta .apk from the official site but my phone says that it's not compatible with this model. Is there anyway to get Launcher pro to work with my x10?

Also what are some advantages and disadvantages over ADW Launcher (which is what I am currently using.. and loving)? I just want to try out Launcher pro...

Thank you for your time :)

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] JackTheMan18:
I use Launcher Pro and it has a number of advantages over ADW (which is a fine product).

However, as long as you have android 1.6 you will never be able to use launcher pro, as well as many other fine market products.

I suggest putting pressure on Rogers/Sony to upgrade to a higher level (2.2 - Froyo is out already.)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Zer0_:
Oh! So launcher pro is only available to people with latest android versions? That explains it :)

I've heard you're better off covering the front facing camera, at least it keeps you from thinking you can actually use the thing. (I don't have one, but I've heard in several places it's pretty much worthless).

Anyone notice the battery charging too slow on the usb? I had the droid (first droid) and notice it charge much quicker both the usb and the wall charge?
[Droid X General] microdot:
Can't say that i notice that. Granted its my 1st android phone but it seems to charge at a normal pace
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
Compared to my imagio it is a little slow on the usb. However I attribute that to more things sucking the power while it charges.
[Droid X General] kingrichards:
Well it is definitely slower on the usb charge even slower than the original Droid. Also i notice the reception is always 1 bar lower while the droid have full bars usually... .?
[Droid X General] ritkit:
Are you doing things on the phone while you are charging it, because when I had my omnia. I could actually kill the battery while it was plugged into the computer. The problem is while you are using it the phone is going to discharge the phone's battery and since USB does not provide much power it will have a hard time keeping up with charging. I recommend just plugging it in to the wall if you want it to charge fast.
[Droid X General] kingrichards:
No not doing anything at all. I treated the same way i did when i had the original droid...yesterday? Lol i just hope i don't have a defect droid x
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Are you holding it wrong? ie, with your left hand, and touching the bottom of the phone?

There might be a software update for that... or maybe a bumper case would help.

I've done plenty of searching here and on the web but no answers yet.

[Vibrant General] moonrock:
I got my Vibrant yesterday and (of course) had to use it right away. The battery went down to the point of getting the popup notification (that is at 15% i believe?) and after that, I tried to open/play with the camera -- but instead was greeted with a prompt informing me my battery was low and my only option was "close" - there was no way to just say YEAH, I KNOW, LET ME USE MY !@$$!@ CAMERA!

..... any way to disable this? get around it somehow? Sorry Samsung, but if I want to use my camera, I WANT TO USE MY CAMERA. I don't care that the battery is low!
[Vibrant General] pdayco:
Every smartphone I've ever used for the past 7 years won't allow you to use certain functions if the battery is too low, to allot resources to more important processes.
[Vibrant General] moonrock:
Never had this problem on any other device (including G1). :\
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
I can't reproduce it right now, but it has a power saving mode. Go to Settings > Sound and Display, then scroll all the way down. It's the second last item. Uncheck it and see if that fixes it.
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
Just test on low battery and no the power saving mode doesn't let you take pictures.
[Vibrant General] moonrock:
Nope, I turned Power Saving off when I was going through settings yesterday, so that isn't what is causing me to get locked out of the camera.

Semi-solution: downloaded a 3rd party camera app from market (snapphoto pro which i had already purchased on my old phone anyways) which will let me use it, so at least i have camera functionality even if battery is low, but i'd still prefer to turn that.... um... "feature" off.
[Vibrant General] watermonkey:
+1 on this "feature" its pretty crippling, not only does the camera not work but it also seems to turn your brightness down, also I don't think it will let you watch videos. C'mon samsung.
[Vibrant General] moonrock:
I understand the feature of it popping up a warning like "hey, maybe you should rethink this... " but to actually completely disable it is annoying. :\

[Vibrant General] silverwolf0:
This isn't anything new from Samsung or many other phone manufacturers. My current G600 slider that is 3 years old does the same thing. Better to still have basic phone functions and SOS for the remaining battery than to end up taking a few snapshots and find a dead phone seconds later. It may seem like they are locking you out of your phone, but in reality the lashback from average joes complaining about their phone dying when they were trying to call 911 after a hit and run accident in the middle of nowhere can justify this "feature".
[Vibrant General] Zombieblaster:
I understand your argument, but the entire focus of these forums is to change things we don't like or add new things on our phones.

You could extend the argument that "lots of other phones do this" to any number of annoying "features" that have been modded or hacked.
[Vibrant General] sic3230:
On the otherside, as someone mentioned if I'm on a flight watching a movie, I want to burn out the battery. Or I'm in a car accident and I need to quickly take pictures for insurance, I'd rather use that battery power. Basically, it's a nanny feature that many of us don't want. That's pretty much the point of these forums.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to give specific ringtones to your contacts? I couldn't find it in the edit portion of contacts.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nizzit:
the contact has to be stored on the phone in order to set an individual ringtone. an easy workaround is to create another contact with the same name and save it to the phone then link the two.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rbtady:
Thanks. Somewhat annoying and a little more work, but it worked

On the jl4 release, not sure about any after or before that, 2.2 touchwiz contacts allows you to save custom ringtones for contacts without saving a separate contact.

[Vibrant General] rexrbgh:
Something went horribly amiss while trying to transfer the movie from the preinstalled 2 gig to my 8 gig memory card. Although I was able to play the movie one time on my vibrant, the Avatar icon now says "File Not Found" when clicked. I cleared the 2 gig sd card before giving it away so now I'm left without a copy. Is there anyway I could procure a copy from a forum member or is the issue phone related?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :o
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
If you moved avatar.dcf you're fine. The icon is set for a specific location which would be where it was on the SD card before and now that it's not, the shortcut icon doesn't work. I moved my copy of Avatar to the internal SD card with EStrongs File Manager (Copy not cut).
[Vibrant General] rexrbgh:
Well I click on the folder named Movie on my SD card, but it is no longer there. I'm not sure what I should do? Could Samsung give me another copy or am I just out of luck?

[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
i was actually wondering where Avatar went, but thanks to this thread I know that's because it is on the SD card and not internal storage.
[Vibrant General] bdjnk:
Funny, I accidentally deleted my copy of avatar as well. One of the first things I did was take a few test videos, to get a feel for the quality, and when I was going through removing them I clicked the wrong thing and avatar was gone.

No big deal though, I didn't really want to watch it for the fourth time anyway.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
I accidentally deleted Avatar through camcorder app as well. There is no file info given and just a plain "broken" icon, so I deleted it. No warning from the OS either. Lame. T-mobile store would not replace the phone without a restocking fee (manager was a nightmare). I called Samsung and was told that since the movie is installed after-market on the external SD, there is nothing they can do to replace the file. So it is all on TMO to help anyone with this issue. TMO customer care does not have a direct link to a download and will not send a replacement SD. Finally I got the rep at the store to agree to swap my SD with the next Vibrant return that comes in. That's good enough for me. Avatar is waaaay to easy to inadvertently delete from the phone without warning. Be careful.
